Expanded COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Announced

April 5, 2021 by Felicity Mae Gomer

OCPS Employees:

Restrictions for the COVID-19 vaccination have recently expanded to include all Orange County Public School personnel, regardless of age. Any K-12 OCPS employee is now able to get their inoculations at the following FEMA federal site:

  • Valencia College’s West Campus at 1800 S. Kirkman Rd.
    • Approximately 2,000 vaccines available daily
    • Seven days a week from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

OCPS employees must bring their OCPS ID to receive their vaccination. Additional vaccines are available at CVS Pharmacy and Walmart to school personnel of any age but must be verified with those respective providers.

Veterans of the VA:

Vaccinations for COVID-19 are now being distributed to veterans enrolled in VA benefits in the area. The VA healthcare team will contact you if you are eligible for the shot. Veterans of any age who already receive benefits can schedule an appointment to receive their inoculations for free. Appointments can be made from Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. by calling (407) 631-0499.

For veterans’ vaccinations, the only restriction is that they are enrolled and receiving healthcare benefits by the VA.
